I especially favor the braiding of the ties on the back! Which I would like to use in a future project.  If I were you, I would certainly add your initals or full name on this straight jacket. It'a a beautiful work of art, very creative and as the years go by you can pass it down, so please sign it.  Oh, yes one need not be a \"seamstress\" to be able to sew. Your zigzag top stitch looks fine and putting the beads over the running stitches was a great touch.  I love embelishments on items, it makes them more personal, one of a kind, a work of art. Thanks for sharing! :D<br /><span class=\"byline\">           Sheree Randolph | 11.11.07 - 10:07 pm | <a href=\"#19595\" title=\"Link to this comment\">#</a></span></p><hr /></td></tr><tr><td class=\"MessageCell\">    <a name=\"19603\"></a>        <p><img src=\"http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=b13d05a8aa0d16c838fa217bcf311f2e&amp;default=http%3A%2F%2Fec1.images-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FG%2F01%2Fx-locale%2Fcommon%2Ftransparent-pixel.gif&amp;rating=PG&amp;size=32\" alt=\"Gravatar\" title=\"Gravatar\" style=\"padding: 1px; margin: 2px; float: right;\" class=\"gravatar\" />Jenny: hope your bladder is doing OK now... I really want to be Johnny Depp when I grow up, as long as he likes freeform. <img src=\"http://www.haloscan.com/images/smileys/clin_oeil.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"15\" height=\"15\" /> <br><br>Frances: of course I would link your blog!! You've got cool stuff.  You may have noticed in terms of linking knitting blogs that I tend toward the personal.  I reckon everyone knows about the Yarn Harlot et al by now... <img src=\"http://www.haloscan.com/images/smileys/clin_oeil.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"15\" height=\"15\" /><br><br>Sheree- thank you for your kind comments and you are most welcome to borrow the braiding.  The work is actually signed just below the \"Addiction\" tag (in silver Sharpie- we'll see how it holds up!), but thank you for the suggestion. My signature is XM [year] in case it showed in the pics. XM are my initials in greek - as I credit my two grandmothers with giving me the craft bug, one of whom only ever had the initials XM (same name as me), it is the least I can do. <br><br>Some of my other designed knit dresses are not signed and I will follow your suggestion to do so with a tag.  <br><br>I appreciated also your kind comments on my sewing. <img src=\"http://www.haloscan.com/images/smileys/clin_oeil.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"15\" height=\"15\" /> <br><br>cheers, <br>Kristina<br /><span class=\"byline\">           Kristina | <a href=\"http://brouhahaknits.blogspot.com\" title=\"http://brouhahaknits.blogspot.com\">Homepage</a> | 11.11.07 - 10:40 pm | <a href=\"#19603\" title=\"Link to this comment\">#</a></span></p><hr /></td></tr><tr><td class=\"MessageCell\">    <a name=\"19604\"></a>        <p><img src=\"http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=b6247b82ffbad48fda11d5f7a3f25b5d&amp;default=http%3A%2F%2Fec1.images-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FG%2F01%2Fx-locale%2Fcommon%2Ftransparent-pixel.gif&amp;rating=PG&amp;size=32\" alt=\"Gravatar\" title=\"Gravatar\" style=\"padding: 1px; margin: 2px; float: right;\" class=\"gravatar\" />Too cool.<br><br>Today's haloscan ads: <i>Safe Alternative to Botox</i> and <i>Lose 55 Lbs in 5 Months</i>.
